In the Active Directory database on the Windows primary (and, of course,
backup) domain controllers in your AD domain.

Oh, or it could be in the 'smbpasswd' file or an LDAP directory, either
of which could be on another machine -- if that acts as the primary
domain controller.

In other words: it really depends a lot on how you configured Samba,
something that you neglected to tell us.
